St Peter Port the Bridge & St Sampson's Harbour Vision ST PETER PORT THE BRIDGE & ST SAMPSON’S HARBOUR PREFACE VISION FOR ST PETER PORT, THE BRIDGE AND ST SAMPSON’S HARBOUR St Peter Port and St Sampson’s Harbours are the historic gateways to and from Guernsey and were central to the development of the Island as an important trading and maritime community. The Towns that developed over the centuries in the hinterland of each harbour are inseparable from the harbours and remain the urban focus of Guernsey forming the core of Guernsey’s identity. The Vision for St Peter Port, the Bridge and St Sampson’s Harbour looks forward into the 21st century mapping out a possible future for each area to create a cohesive vision to conserve, enhance and develop the towns and harbours to best benefit the community of Guernsey. The Visioning programme has started with community consultation and involvement in order to understand the views of the many representative local groups and to describe how Islanders see the future of Guernsey’s centres over the next two decades. A Vision Team was formed in 2012, with the help and guidance of the Environment Department, and is comprised of the Constables of St Peter Port, St Sampson’s and the Vale, The Town Centre Partnership and the Chamber of Commerce and is supported by States Departments engaged with the future planning of the Island. The first section of this Vision explains how the process has been undertaken and how the community worked together to form the foundations of our plan for the future. The Vision Team has developed five themes for each town centre which include the consideration of the economic drivers of Town, the unification of harbours and town centres, the creation of new housing opportunities, the celebration of and working with our built heritage, the improvement of vehicle, cycle and pedestrian movement and the improvement of the public realm. The Vision Team invites the community of Guernsey to embrace the future of our town centres and harbours by both celebrating our built heritage and most importantly by “All the forces in the world are not so working together to create the best possible future outcomes for the Island. powerful as an idea whose time has come.” David Falla Victor Hugo CHAIRMAN - VISION TEAM Vision CONTENTS BACKGROUND TO THE VISION FOUNDATIONS OF THE VISIONS VISION FOR ST PETER PORT Introduction to St Peter Port Vision for Town and Key Opportunities 1 Driving the Island’s Economy 2 Unifying Town and its Harbour 3 Making St Peter Port a Better Place to Live 4 Celebrating Town Heritage and Embracing New Architecture 5 Improving Movement, Parking and the Public Realm VISION FOR THE BRIDGE AND ST SAMPSON’S HARBOUR Introduction to The Bridge and St Sampson’s Harbour Vision for The Bridge and Key Opportunities 1 Creating a Thriving Town Centre 2 Making The Bridge a cool place to live 3 Embracing New Architecture and Revealing Heritage 4 Improving Movement, Parking and the Public Realm 5 Consolidation of Port and Industrial Uses “The important pedestrian junction of Smith Street and the High Street is unattractive with tarmac surfaces and no seating.” “There is a great opportunity to revive and make better use of the memorial gardens in St Julian’s Avenue.” “The taxi rank area at the bottom of St Julian’s Avenue and the Lower Pollet should be seen as the gateway to St Peter Port’s retail area and the height and presence of buildings in this area should be increased to anchor and mark this important location.” “High Street deliveries and rubbish collection This Vision has been informed by information and ideas provided by the following people: should be managed earlier in the day to avoid • Officers of the Environment Department: • Church on the Rock congestion and restrictions for pedestrians.” Forward Planning Officers of the Commerce & Employment: • “The Vennels connecting The High Street and • Officers of the Environment Department: Tourism Traffic the Quay are dark and dirty in places - there is • Officers of the Policy Council Officers of the Environment Department: a great opportunity to provide lighting, better • • Churches Together Conservation & Design signs and make the steps into attractive • Holy Trinity Church routes.” • Town Centre Partnership • Methodist Church • Living Streets • Harbour Authority • Disabilities & Equalities Officer • Officers of the Public Services • St Peter Port Douzaine Department Vale Douzaine • • Island Coachways St Sampson’s Douzaine • • Chamber of Commerce: Young Business • Quayside Group • Bridge Traders • HCT Group • Guernsey Disability Alliance • Officers of the Culture & Leisure Department • Chamber of Commerce: Hospitality & Catering 1 BACKGROUND TO THE VISION In November 2011 the States approved Preparation of the Vision The Environment Department has committed its Strategic Land Use Plan (SLUP).

The Vision set out in this document represents a consolidation, refinement and development of the information, discussion, opinion and ideas aired on that day. The intention is for this Vision to gain momentum, support and endorsement and spur people into action through individual’s belief in its aspirations and a genuine desire to improve the places in which they live and work and a willingness to work together with like- minded people to make it happen. 2 FOUNDATIONS OF THE VISIONS Environmentally conscious The careful use of resources at every level: choosing brownfield land over greenfield; designing walkable mixed use neighbourhoods; efficient design and construction of buildings; using sustainable materials; planning for electric vehicles; providing cycle parking and utilising solar powered lighting on street signs. High quality and built to last High quality design needs to be hard-wired into projects from their conception through to completion and ongoing maintenance. But Guernsey is a working place, not a gallery, and good design should not be divorced from function. Coordinated action – I will if you will The Vision needs the budget holders in the public, private and voluntary sectors to work together in order to be delivered. The Island’s resources should be used wisely, bringing organisations together can create bigger budgets, greater efficiencies and mostly importantly better outcomes on the ground. Big projects shouldn’t hold up small projects This Vision does involve some major developments which may take years to get designed, funded and delivered. The advantage of having a vision is that smaller projects that contribute to the overall picture can happen around them. Temporary uses could also be considered to prevent the stagnation of sites. Adaptable to change Some of our historic buildings are hundreds of years old and have seen many types of occupiers. Georgian town houses are high density yet have been used as single family homes, divided into apartments, used as offices and had shops on the ground floors. Some modern business practices require a particular building layout, but where possible, designing in the ability to adapt to change is much more sustainable in the long term and allows buildings to make an enduring contribution to character. 4 INTRODUCTION TO ST PETER PORT St Peter Port is recognised as one of the finest coastal towns in the British Isles, enjoying a combination of dramatic hillside topography, a rich architectural and cultural heritage and a prospect overlooking St Peter Port Harbour and beyond to the neighbouring Islands of Herm, Jethou and Sark. Although often described as the ‘Jewel in the Crown of Guernsey’, St Peter Port Town and Harbour do nevertheless display a number of environmental and public realm issues which have arisen from the growth in road traffic and surface car parking over many decades.

  • Regeneration NI Creating 21St Century Town and City Centres
    Regeneration NI Creating 21st Century Town and City Centres NEW THINKING FRESH LEADERSHIP AMBITIOUS INITIATIVES 1 The wholesale change needed to revitalise our town centres and give them a fighting chance of survival will only come, however, when there is an acceptance that the old order of things is crumbling before our eyes. We still rely on old models that are not fit for the 21st century and this is holding back change.” Grimsey Review, 2018 2 3 INTRODUCTION For nearly twenty years, Retail NI and its membership have been champions for our town centres and high streets, bringing forward new ideas and policy solutions to decision-makers at all levels of government. Our members are entrepreneurs who provide an important service to their local communities and believe in real and genuine partnerships with their local Councils. They champion strong, vibrant and diverse town centres, which are in themselves, centres of both retail and hospitality excellence. We have already successfully lobbied for the introduction of the Small Business Rate Relief Scheme, the Town Centre First Planning Policy, legislation for Business Improvement schemes, five hours for £1 off-street car parking discount and much more. The theme of this report is regeneration and how to create 21st century town and city centres. With the Local Government Elections in 2019, we believe it is time to update our policy priorities and introduce some new ideas. I look forward to engaging with members, stakeholders and political representatives across Northern Ireland in the months ahead, asking for their support to initiate the process of regenerating our high streets, regenerating our workforce, regenerating our infrastructure and regenerating our political structures.

They are a focal point for our culture, communities and everyday economies. They support the most sustainable models of living and working, including active travel and shorter commutes. And they are where new ideas, new ways of living, new businesses and new experiences are made. Our high streets and town centres face many challenges, but our research shows how much Londoners value them as places to meet, socialise, access services, shop, work and live.

We aim to improve quality of life by promoting innovative solutions that challenge mainstream thinking on economic, environmental and social issues. We work in partnership and put people and the planet first. A report from the Connected Economies Team nef (the new economics foundation) is a registered charity founded in 1986 by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES), which forced issues such as international debt onto the agenda of the G8 summit meetings.

Is the spread of clone towns and the creeping homogenisation of the high street anything more than an aesthetic blight? We think so. Yes, distinctiveness and a sense of place matter to people. Without character in our urban centres, living history and visible proof that we can in some way shape and influence our living environment we become alienated in the very places that we should feel at home.

  • Scotland's Most Beautiful High Street
    Scotland’s Most Beautiful High Street 1. ALLOA Alloa’s High Street has been transformed over the past nine years, this has been driven by the Alloa Town Centre Business Improvement District, Clackmannanshire Council and funding from the Scottish Government. Part of the improvement was our Performance area, situated within our High Street. This area provides a fantastic central point for events and activities which are delivered on a regular basis by ATCBID. Our Town may be small, but our High Street is packed with an array of heritage, art and a wide variety of traders. In 2009, thanks to funding from Imagine Alloa, ATCBID organized the repairs on the High Street clock, which had lay non-functioning for numerous years. Unveiled in 1912, the handsome clock was part of the original Co-operative building in the town, and is seen by many as a marker of the town’s affluent past. The chimes from the clock were once again heard in 2009. Sculpture Andy Scott, whose work is found as far afield as Melbourne, Spain and Belfast also has sculptures in Alloa High Street, the Mirror Men. The Mirror men stand proudly at the top of our High Street, and are a great visible and talked about asset. The traders take a huge pride in the High Street, making sure their shops are welcoming to everyone who visits. Traders have also “adopted” the flower barrels supplied by ATCBID and attend to their daily watering. The hanging baskets and barrels are a welcoming floral enhancement to the Town by ATCBID, which the traders and public welcome.

The most common, B. neritina, was known from a few sites in southern Britain and northern France during the 20th century, following its discovery at Plymouth by 1911. During the 1950-60s it was abundant in a dock heated by power station effluent at Swansea, south Wales, where it flourished until the late 1960s, while water temperatures were 7-10°C above ambient. It disappeared after power generation ceased, when summer temperatures probably became insufficient to support breeding. Details of disappearances have not been recorded but B. neritina was not seen in Britain between c1970 and 1999.

In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.

(2014) Youth on Streets and Bob-a-Job Week: Urban geographies of masculinity, risk and constructions of home in post-war Britain, Environment and Planning A 46 (1): 112- 128. After World War Two, youth in Britain was constructed as unruly, troublesome and deviant, particularly in public urban space and streets. However, not all children and young people were discouraged from entering these environments or engaging with the general public. Drawing from literature published by the Boy Scout Association and a case study of Bob-a- Job Week in Britain launched in 1949, I examine the institutional geographies of responsibility, risk and reward embedded in this youth activity, orchestrated by the most popular youth organisation in Britain. This fundraising scheme involved Boy Scouts completing domestic tasks for householders and encouraged uniformed youth to be visible, proficient and useful. Significantly, this also took place in largely urban areas – complicating our understanding of scouting as an idealised ‘rural’ practice with camping as its central activity.
